Mentawai Bodyboarding – What waves to expect?

January 14, 2017

We are regularly asked the question – what are the waves like in the Mentawai Islands?

Rather than trying to describe them, we made this video of some of the sessions from our recent trip. We all agreed that it was the best surf that any of us had ever had in our lives. We can’t guarantee that it will be like this every time but generally, you can expect clean, uncrowded perfection. What more could you ask for? Enjoy the clip!
